NEBULA THEORY

The most generally accepted theory of how the Earth was formed

Nebula – latin for “cloud”

These are the 5 stages

> Collapse - The Solar System comes from a high temperature ball of gases

> Spinning - Once the Nebula has collapsed, it begins to spin. Due to centrifugal force, the Nebula flattens out into a disc and widens

> Flattening - The disc become a sphere due to rotation. Because of the fast rotation, some of the fog from gasses escape.

> Condensation - Some fog formed the core of the largest mass in the middle, while the small part formed around the cooling process.

> Accretion - The cores of smaller masses turn into planets, while most of the remains in a state of high temperature flare and called the Sun
